Pour mixture in an unbaked pie shell and bake at 425 degrees F. for 5 minutes and then reduce temperature to 300 degrees F. and bake for 45 minutes. enjoy!!

You did this video 4 years ago. Such a good presentation and well balanced. How are your trees going now?

Awesome video! My mother had a large pecan tree in her backyard that grew from a nut a squirrel planted. We enjoyed pecans year round as she shelled the pecans then put them in the freezer. I am sure you have gotten a lot of recipes but just wanted to share my aunt’s recipe, She came from the depression era. She was famous in our family gatherings for this pie, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup Karo syrup, 3 beaten eggs, 1/4 cup melted butter (not margarine), 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1 cup pecans. Mix. Bake 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Yum!

I was just making arrangements to have a tree cut on the new homestead when I noticed these nuts!! WOWZER we have PECANS!!! I love pecans! These huge trees look to be at least 30 years old! We should get a great harvest for market this year.

Pecans grow like weeds here in northeastern Mexico. You can get quite the number of kilos of pecans just aside of the road hahahaha

I love pecans! Pralines, pecan pie, pecan sandies, roasted pecans, raw pecans, pecans on sweet potato casserole, the list goes on. Your pecan trees are beautiful!! Thanks!! -Lea

I grew up with Pecan trees in our yard in New Mexico, USA. Our trees were huge & we mostly let them drop and then picked up. My friends family had an orchard & they had some kind of attachment they hooked up on their tractor with a wide strap they would wrap around the tree and it would shake the tree and the nuts would fall to the ground. Needless to say growing up around pecans it is still my favorite nut.

They don't tend to interfere with driveways or buildings I have one planted only a few feet from the driveway for 20+ years without problem

I'm in Delaware USA, my pecan tree is about 50 years old and just started producing pecans 3 years ago. Boy was I surprised, happy too. Definitely can't beat a traditional pecan pie.

I've been watching all of your vids over the past hour or so and I've gotta say you are inspiring!

Hello, I'm from Algeria, I have 2 huge pecan trees they are 40 years old, and they keep producing high quality pecan, and the weather helps a lot, when they are completely ready to remove, the winds start, and helps the pecan to fall of, they are tasty (sorry for my bad english, I love your content )

Hi Mark, so glad to see you growing Pecans trees. I'm a Northern California between Sacramento and Chico. Our orchard is about 145 acers. I can safely say they were very Hardy and it took our trees to produce about 9 years. They love water they are a creek and river bottom tree. make sure you water real well the late two months of harvest. Because the nut is a milk sack nut till close to harvest. You cannot beat a pecan pie. Make sure use Maple syrup when making the pie it's the best taste for your pie and candied nuts, Maple syrup cup, salt 1tsp, cinnamon 2 tsp. and 3cups pecan meats put together in a sauce pan and heat up to med high when the mixture starts to get hardenup, then spread on to parchment paper and let dry. It's so easy and yummy, have lots of fun with your Pecans Enjoy Robin Platter from Plumas Lake, California USA 🌿🍃👍😋

I feel like visiting Australia just to see your garden! Love your videos!

Love your videos You are a very humble guy. Lots of love from New York

Hi Mark! I enjoyed your video. I just planted my pecan tree started from a seed. I can't wait to see it grow!

Mark, I love your channel, and am learning SO much. We just got 6 chicks, and are putting in a fruit orchard with irrigation during the quarantine. A tip about getting the high-up pecans from your trees- if they’re just hanging on there in their brown hulls, you can tap or whack them with a long pole, such as a bamboo cane. It will cause a pecan downpour, and the children love scampering around to pick them up! Thank you for your channel, and God bless you and yours!☺️

My father is his favorite tree. He was passed away since I’m 10 years old. I used this tree for crop and memorial.

Hi thanks for this informative video. I have just realized that I have a pecan tree in my garden in Malta (middle of the Mediterranean). I am over 40 years old, and the tree has been there all of my lifetime, so I estimate it is more than 50 years old now. In my lifetime, this is the first year that it has produced successfully, and it is an enormous quantity of fruit, which is ripe right now (start of Winter here in Malta in mid-December). Till now, I had been told that the tree is a walnut tree, but after this year's production, I have read more about this kind of tree, and have just established that it is a pecan tree. This year we had a warmer early Summer in the middle Mediterranean sea, and I suspect it is one reason why fruit production has been good and successful. I estimate the tree is about from 10-15 metres tall now. This is a very rare tree in Malta, and I am very proud of it.

Love your videos!! Thank you so much for all the super helpful information!

I just found your videos a couple weeks ago and have been enjoying them and learning a lot. As far as pecan pie, the easiest ways to get the same taste is to eat the pecans with dates. Tastes exactly the same! As a kid living in Texas, we would go and gather pecans all the time! Once I clear the empty lot we have, I'm going to plant one! Thank you!

Hi! New subscriber here, of all the gardening videos I've watched, yours is my favorite! I love the way you clearly explained things to start a garden soon! Keep it up!

Hello Mark, Your right, here in the USA the climates mostly won't grow Pecans, but here in Arkansas, USA we have a huge peacan tree in our yard (great shade) too large to pick the nuts until late fall. We give 5 gallon buckets full away and keep a couple bushel basket full for ourselves. I discovered some new young seedling pecan trees came up from seeds I babied them 6 of them for 5 years, they are now fruiting and I've fallen in love with them. Jessie USA

Thanks for the video. Greetings from Spain. I'm planning to start growing them, here the weather is also quite good for pecans. Enjoy the Pecans Pies!

11:10 "pecan-y tasting." Such a great description of its flavor! :)

That tree is so beautiful!! You definitely are giving it great care, because it is huge and very prolific! That is a cool looking basket, and it looks like the pecans taste amazing!!

Fantastic! Thank you for the tips and the fun, hand-cracking technique!

Great video! I've have a small 10 acre Pecan orchard in Texas. I would suggest a zinc foliage spray when they first leaf out, then a couple months later to get more nut production. Keep up the great vids!

Hi Mark, your place is very beautiful! I'm from Texas and will send you a Texas Pecan Recipe! Let me research today and get back with you! It's great you are growing a pecan tree and maintaining its growth. So others like myself with limited space can try this as well! Thank you so much!

I just tried this, my pecan grew roots. Ready to get it growing.

Hello from Alabama USA. Here in the south we have pecan trees growing like weeds. Just to let you know, pecan trees are very shallow rooted and will blow over in a wind most especially if it comes with rain ( monsoon season ). We love pecans here in the south but just incase you didn't know pecan wood is awesome for smoking or bbq. It does tend to lose quite a bit of small branches. Save those for cooking. You will love it. Rarely do the huge branches split off. It's usually the entire tree that comes down or small branches. Welcome to southern eats. Lol. Pecan pie YUMMY

Such a pleasant guy with beautiful garden!.great video!

Love it! We are subtropical here in Tampa, FL so I hope to someday have a few nut trees on our future homestead, too. Thanks for another great video! Loved that you showed the variety of the tree that was fantastic!

Thank you for such positive content

It is April in South Africa and my daughter has just planted our pecan nuts.........we live on a plot in Pretoria. Thirty years ago, I planted a Walnut seed that brought from Prague.... It grew and now we have a bowl of nuts every year. I hope I will not have to wait so long for my pecan nuts....many thanks for your advice. Go well, Jill

You should look online for "Candied-Pecans." A friend of the families went to Mexico for vacation and brought back and gave my Mother some candied pecans she got on her trip. My mother gave me some and I asked he what they were. She told me her friend got them on her vacation. I couldn't stop eating them. I then went online looking for recipes of how to make them. There are so many different ways to make them. I also noticed there are also videos for some of these recipes. Some are simple and straight forward and others are more complex with alcohol added to the recipe. The pecans I had looked like they were cooked in a brown sugar powdered sugar mix and were dry to the touch. Having a tree of your own should make you very popular if you find a good candied pecan recipe.

Hi Mark. I just found you. Liked the name. Beautiful pecan tree. When I was about 4/5, we moved onto a property with 48 pecan trees. They made empty shells. We were told that it was because they were never grafted. Nice trees and eventually we moved away so I don't know what happened. probably just used for shade and houses built. Just my silly experience. Good luck with your crop. Enjoy the pies.

Oh! Black walnut are one of my favorites.

Love the idea of keeping your nut tree small! The house we moved into 2 years ago has a Shagbark Hickory nut tree that is about 40 feet tall or more, with all the leaves and nuts at the very top, gorgeous tree. However, I think I need to invest in some hard hats, lol, those nuts fall with some velocity! They taste similar to a pecan and the husks are kind of split like that too, but don't just open up on the tree like that. I may have to rethink having more nut trees!

We bought some hickory seedlings this year. It's too cold here by the Rockies for pecans but hickory nuts are said to be very similar. One of the tribes of native Indians makes milk with the hickory nut to cook corn meal. I don't have any hickory nuts yet but am looking forward to trying it with pecan milk

Good video Mark, you have a awesome garden and fruit/nut trees! Thanks for sharing.

This is exactly what I want to do so I can plant a few varieties. I’m glad to see that this bush method is working for other people. I live about an hour from Myrtle Beach and we get a lot of hurricanes so I hope this would work for me. I am going to look and see if you have made any updated videos about this tree bc I’m interested in seeing how it turned out.

he is very informative n he has very good knowledge about farming Thanks for. sharing

Great video, I'm from Oklahoma where they grow all over the place and I used to get bags and collect them from the ground and the tree. Pecan pie is my favorite desert during Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I usually get one all to myself lol

Hi you have a beautiful farm. Well maintained. I really loved it .

Ooooh i want a horse like that chestnut one! BTW soo helpfull Loool cute puppy!

I'm glad you got to grow pecans, they're great! They're everywhere here where I'm at in Texas. We make home made pecan pie for Thanksgiving every year. I'll give you the recipe if you'd like. Glad to see your tree is doing good. :)

Gracias por tus experience as compartidas

Love the vid thanks

Amazing. Thankyou so much for all your hard work!!!! I wish we could grow Pecans here in the UK, South Coast, Brighton. Our Mango is still alive (from seed)! Bless you! Stay Safe!

I love pecans!

Thanks for the video sir

I love pecan thanks and God bless

Another great tip thanks mark I planted 2 a few months ago lucky I watch your videos because I realise now they are a big tree I better move them 😱

You had me at Pecan Pie. Talk about the proper use of a nut.

I love pecans too. I make pies too. Thanks for sharing!

I love pecans! I love my home, but sometimes I wish I lived somewhere peaches and pecans could grow.

i want to move to Australia! looks so beautiful there!

Since I was a kid I like trees. And I enjoy watching your program and know that I have my beatiful wife. I will plant a tree of pecan because my wife and me we always buy bags of pecan at HEB. but know I will budget my money because know I will have a tree of pecan. for my wife and for my daughter's and son's. Ok I will see you next time GodBless you. Janie and Roman....

great video great comments, thank you all, esp. Mark.

I've seen old pecan trees growing directly in clay that was hard enough to bounce a hammer. The tree roots will break the clay. They don't mind hard ground as long as there're minerals in it.

Enjoy your pecans as I enjoyed watching your video

I realize I am very late to view this video, but WOW, thanks so much. I love your video. I live in Texas where pecan trees are plenty. If and when I find an excellent pecan pie recipe, I will send it your way.

my grandma makes the best pecan pie, we have tons of trees, ps we live in south Georgia usa

In south Louisiana we have a saying that you don't plant out crops until the pecan buds. I tell my family personally that it's time to transplant because the "pecan told me to". Maybe they bud faster here or you don't get the last little cold front we get every year. Early spring it will be green, lush and in the 70s-80s everyday out and you will be tempted to plant but you will always get hit with a surprise couple of days with north winds and temps dipping to 40s at night. I don't know anyone that is really in to gardening around here that doesn't wait for their pecan to give the ok.

Hi..... Mark, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍

Our main problems in the USA are squirrels (that cut them off and drop them to the ground), woodpeckers, and an insect that bores holes in the ones the squirrels cut off.

Thank you thank you thank You!!!

very informative video thank you sir I have lot of walnuts trees but don't have pecan tree

Hi Mark, I am very pleased to see small pecan nutlets formed on my pecan tree. I note that you got some pecans after 4 years from your tree. My Cherokee seedling tree after 5 years has produced over 20 nuts. I was wondering if your Shoshone pecan tree is a grafted tree or whether it's a seedling like mine. Anyway as long as the crows don't go for the nuts which could occur then I will be very happy by next April when the nuts will be mature and ready to pick.

Pecans are literally the best tree ever made. My hometown and Texas seemed to go crazy for them as soon as they arrived and, especially in the older poorest parts of town every house has 1-3 pecan trees. I remember being able to get like 4 trash bags worth of pecans just from my grandmas house alone

Hey, great looking tree! one of the best nuts and one of my favorites. We are in west Texas. Love those pies at Christmas time.

The recipe on the back of the dark Karo syrup bottle is really good 😊

Yeah pecan pie, I'm with you man.

My best friend in Texas has 4 varieties between her house, her moms house next door and her neighbor on the other side. She sends them to me each autumn since my mom passed. My mom used to send them to me before that and she lived in Oklahoma. They grow like weeds in those 2 states. Here's a little tip. When cracking them by hand, be a little gentler. Gently crack, turn the nut, gently crack again. Like an egg shell. Then pull the shards off. You'll be able to pull out a whole nut. Pull in half to remove the shell like center. Enjoy.

You are my favorite thing from Australia other than Powderfinger

enjoy your food , it was a wonderful and interesting video. This fruit is very healthy and has great benefits for the whole body, especially mental focus. thank you my friend ✅ I live in Algeria 👍💐

When you first planted the tree did you have any special mixture or steps. So you have to have more than one to grow and get fruit?

Привет! Я мало понимаю по английски, поэтому оставлю комментарий на русском))) Мужик! Это первое твоё видео, которое я смотрю и мне очень нравится твоя подача👍 Буду смотреть с удовольствием всё остальное. Сам тоже мечтаю заняться фермерством и выращивать орехи. Привет с Урала! Это граница Европы и Азии. Россия.

Great vid! Like an update on tree to see how it's growing - did it remain short in statue and wealth of nuts.

My oldest son liked pecan pie so much that one Christmas season he ate so many pecan pies that now even a photograph of a pecan pie makes him feel ill.

Beautiful tree, i planted two Hardy Pecans about three years ago. Very little growth on top of the tree but the trunk has tripled in size. I guessing the roots must be growing well and expect the top of the tree to start growing soon.

Hey Mark. I planted a pecan 4 years ago (arid Qld) it struggled the first year. I was worried about the soil so uprooted it in winter when it was dormant. Left it in a large pot to spoil it during the next summer. Then the next year I put it back in the ground. It struggled last year as well and didn't grow at all, just one set of leaves all summer I was worried I had lost it as it reshoots so late (as you said). Anyway I spoilt it a bit more (lots of mulch and well rotted horse manure) and also remembered to water it this year and now it's going gangbusters. So happy. It is shading it's own roots now which is great as our sun is so punishing here. You touched on when they flower, do they flower after the leaves have first sprouted in late spring or do they flower later, like early/mid summer? Can't wait until I have enough to make pecan pie as well. :-)

Thanks

Very good.i like it. Very beautiful. Live health happy and long life for your garden.andyour family.

I hope you’ve made your pecan pie by now, 😁I’ve only made one. Thanks for your video very informative. I’m in southern Indiana. We had probably 7 pecan trees on our property growing up.

I have these in my back yard :)))

Great amount of information. We collected some pecan seeds and I wondered about growing them and possibly pruning them to stay small. Thanks! I'm guessing they say don't grow from seed if you want uniform seed tastes for selling?

Man the squirrels here are maddening if you grow nuts or try to keep bird feeders. I love hearing them bark and argue in the trees but once they get into the front yard they’re nothing but trouble lol.

thanks

Hello from Texas, hope you got your American Pecan pie. That is my favourite during the holidays. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing. - Becca

Awesome! I'm about to plant a pair of pecan trees of the northern variety my climate is temperate zone 7 these trees can handle zone 4!

✔️ Great video! 💗 👏 🌟

The back of the Karo Syrup bottle has the best recipe LOL

Nice pecan, we grow them here in central Texas and they do well in clay. heavy spring rains and brutal hot mid summers. They seem to do just fine. If only the squirrels would share them with me ;/

I really hope you keep us posted on your trimming that pecan tree. I have no problems with keeping fruit trees "bushy" but I've heard it's not so good for nut trees. However, yours seems to be doing great. We live in a heavily wooded area in Texas and have to keep the trees trimmed or sunlight won't get to the fruit trees/garden. Have you seen the youtubes on espalier trimming fruit trees? If anyone can make a success of that technique, it's you! Thanks for your videos. By the way our pecan tree is huge and production is so heavy the entire family groans when it's time to harvest.

I just planted 2 pecan trees and they come bare root and one stick, grafted, about 4 feet tall. Do I cut this stick so the tree branches out? Thanks for all the great videos.

Great video as usual Mark, it's always interesting to learn more about a plant that we can't grow over here in the UK. keep em coming. Cheers Adam

you are so lucky to be able to grow some nut trees... here in central Canada, not too many will grow.. we get hazelnuts (filberts)... and some oak..... enjoy

Chocolate chip pecan cookies are amazing!
